Reading at Leedon

At Leedon, we place reading at the heart of our curriculum because we know it unlocks learning across every subject. We want every child to become a fluent, confident and motivated reader who can decode accurately, read with expression and understanding, and enjoy books as a source of pleasure as well as knowledge. 

Our Reading and Poetry Spines provide every year group with a carefully curated selection of high-quality texts and poems, ensuring that children encounter an inclusive, broad and diverse range of literature throughout their time at Leedon. These texts are revisited, performed and enjoyed across the year, deepening vocabulary and fostering an enduring love of reading.
